Book Description:
Getting Between Jack…
Orphaned at a young age, Legs Anderson owes her Aunt Ada everything. The stoic old lady raised her, and Ada’s warnings about men—and the Harris boys in particular—have stuck, even after her death. Of course, that could be because Ada stuck around, too.
…And His Legs
Patience is not one of Jack Harris’ virtues, and he’s waited too long to start a life with the woman he’s loved since childhood instead of them just knocking boots. Now Ada is interfering from beyond the grave, haunting the old Victorian house she bequeathed to her niece and reinforcing Legs’s fears of commitment.
But Jack won’t give up. No matter what trouble may follow, the house will be renovated, Ada will learn to let go, Legs will put her money where her mouth is… then Jack’ll put his lips everywhere else.

Excerpt:
"Move in
with me, dammit. You’re the most stubborn woman I ever knew.”
Legs topped his
coffee cup with fresh brew, easy as you please. “No more stubborn than you,
since you keep askin’ the same old question. I have my own place.”
Jack frowned and
stabbed his egg yolks, making them run. “Then let me live with you.”
“In my aunt’s
house?” Legs asked like he was crazy.
“It’s your house
now.”
“I’m trying to
fix it up. I have to patch and paint. There’s no room for your things.”
“I’ll help you and
then you’ll have plenty of space for me. And my stuff.”
Her ponytail
shook with her reply. “Ada won’t like it. She’ll think it’s immoral.”
Jack leaned
forward. “You talk about her like she’s still with us. She’s been gone over a
year, sweetheart.” His voice dropped an octave and his brow creased. “Don’t you
think she’d give in after all this time?”
Legs wrinkled
her nose. “No. She thinks you’re a wanderer.”
Jack tossed down
his fork. “I own a sporting goods store! I go fishing!”
He touched her
hand when she got close enough and drew little circles around her wrist bone
with a fingertip. The preschool teachers from Let’s Explore stifled sighs at
the next table. “It’s time to let go, darlin’.” His expression turned earnest.
“She raised you, I know. But I want to be with you now. It’s time to let me
in.”
“Not if it means
letting her go. I’m sorry, Jack. I just can’t do that to her.”
Jack sighed and
returned to his breakfast. “We’ll talk about this again tomorrow.”
